Uche capped Villarreal’s spell of sustained pressure in the opening half-hour with an opening goal but, however, fluffed a chance to put paid to the Yellow Submarines’ qualification job late on, after the impressive Denis Cheryshev had restored their goal cushion following Soriano’s leveler.

The Nigeria international could have seized initiative with a third goal having being played in by Vietto on a counter but squandered the chance.
The win ended a two-game losing streak for Villareal. Uche’s goal was his first in the competition since September (2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach), and his seventh in call competitions so far.
